The co-ordinates listed are NOT for the cache.
The co-ordinates will take you close to Talley Abbey where you will need to explore the grounds of the Abbey to solve the clues and find out the co-ordinates for the cache location.
Please note that the Abbey gates are open daily from 9.30am until 6.30pm and once you have solved the clues you will be able to find the cache by going through the grounds of the church, which is accessible at all times.
To get to the starting point, head for Llandovery on the Llandeilo - Llandovery main road and just as you leave Llandeilo turn left onto the B4302 and follow the signs for the Abbey. Free carparking is available.
Below are the co-ordinates for the cache and the clues you will need to solve the missing numbers:
51.9AB0C -3.99DEF
To work out A and B - Count the number of wooden steps that lead you down to the Abbey and multiply by nine. This will give you a two digit number. The first digit will replace A and the second digit will replace B.
To work out C - As you walk towards the Abbey you will notice two grave stones. Look for the year which is on the second grave stone. You will need to add two to the third digit.
To work out D - After coming down the wooden steps, on your left you will notice a number of grave stones which are crosses. Count these crosses and subtract eight.
To work out E - Go back to the grave stone you looked at earlier. You will notice two centuries. Take the earlier century and subtract 6.
To work out F - Take the second digit of the latter century
You should now have the correct co-ordinates that will lead you to the cache location.
